From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 Galeon/1.2.5 (X11; Linux i686; U;) Gecko/0 Description of problem: Using kernel-smp-2.4.18-3 on a four way 500Mhz Xeon machine with ext3 filesystems I got this very worysome kernel message. It looked like it wanted to be reported. Since this is a redhat kernel I will first post this bug here before posting to the linux-kernel list.
